No birth certificate

How do I apply for a passport for my child who has no birth certificate?

Secondary documents may be submitted if the U.S. birth certificate was filed more than one year after your birth or if no birth record exists. For no birth record on file, submit a registrar's letter to that effect. For both scenarios, submit a combination of the evidence listed below, with your first and last name, birthdate and/or birthplace, the seal or other certification of the office (if customary), and the signature of the issuing official.

o A hospital birth record
o An early baptismal or circumcision certificate
o Early census, school, medical, or family Bible records
o Insurance files or published birth announcements (such as a newspaper article)
o Notarized affidavits (or DS-10, Birth Affidavit) of older blood relatives having knowledge of your birth may be submitted in addition to some of the records listed above.

This answer comes from the passport application, page 2 https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds11.pdf.

Thanks for the question.
